I believe several scenarios could be occurring here. Negative thinking exists on a spectrum. You could just be extremely dissatisfied with one area of your life and the upset from that is seeping over onto all other aspects in your plane of existence. The cure for this might be in identifying what that major stressor or point causing the most significant irritation is, and resolving that, creating more balance and thus, freeing your mind of the constant negative thoughts. On the other hand, the negativity could be part of a psychiatric disorder called Dysthymic Depression, which is a chronic state of low level sadness. Someone with this disorder would have a very bleak outlook on life and that might feel subjectively like negativity. Usually someone with Dysthimic Disorder experiences bouts of sadness rather than purely negative thoughts. The treatments for this disorder lies in working with various allopathic and holistic practitioners. Your negativity would need to be accompanied by other symptoms to reach a diagnosis of a clinical Major Depressive Disorder.
